If your social media feeds are anything like mine, then they are likely filled with photos and videos from the Renaissance tour, including lots of sparkles, sequins, and silver. Some, including Halle Bailey, have decided to forgo the flashy glitter and overt displays of silver. To see her mentor perform, Bailey wore a twisted loc bob and added the subtlest subtle metallic detail to her bubble manicure.
On August 13, Bailey shared her look on Twitter via two photos — one showing her hair and another a closeup of her nails — and a video of her and her sister jamming along to Beyoncé performing “Church Girl.” Our live-action The Little Mermaid star wore a long sleeve hot pink dress with a few pieces of jewellery, including a massive blinged-out name chain.
Her bob, which was parted on the side, just barely grazed her shoulders. Small sections of her locs were twisted together and knotted at the ends to create a shorter length. The shortest twists fell above her brows, almost forming a side-bang-esque look. You can see those locs in full action as Bailey shakes them around in the video.
Bey is back, and we're sleepin' real good at night.
The second photo shows a closer view of her massive silver chain and her coffin-shaped tips. Though these nails are completely transparent, they are far from basic or simple, thanks to the clear blobs or “bubbles” in various sizes covering each nail. Tiny silver circle charms were interspersed between the raised bubbles.

Bailey has gone beyond just pushing the boundaries of how locs can be styled; in fact, she has completely shattered them. Her Met Gala hairstyle is a perfect example. Though she had a bob with her locs woven together at the roots, similar to this Renaissance tour hair, her locs at the Met Gala transformed into a bouncy, blown out hairstyle that gave off old Hollywood glamour vibes.
We still haven't figured out how she or her glam team managed to create that Met Gala look. But, as always, we are grateful to them for each and every creative loc style she debuts, including this twisted bob.
